If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 32 Zhu Zhanji who wants to learn martial arts

Although Zhu Gaochi's family is considered the most noble family in the entire Ming Dynasty, this dinner is just an ordinary dish.

Although the Ming Dynasty can now be said to be a prosperous country and a strong people, and after the governance of the Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle dynasties, the people's expenses have become increasingly abundant, but the meals in the East Palace and the royal family still maintain the simplified style from the Zhu Yuanzhang era. It is not as extravagant as the later Manchu and Qing Dynasties, where a breakfast of big fish, meat and dozens of dishes was required.

Generally speaking, the meals in the East Palace include meat and vegetables, including polished rice, white noodles, chicken, duck, and fish. In terms of richness, it is considered very good in the Ming Dynasty. Families with a more leisurely life can only eat it during the Chinese New Year. Ordinary people may not Only when wine is served at the three major events in life can there be dishes that can compare with it.

But placing such a table of meals on the most noble family in the world seems a bit simple, even frugal.

But this is normal. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a beggar, and he was reluctant to extravagance and waste in these aspects throughout his life. Zhu Di was also taught by Zhu Yuanzhang. He also had no habit of extravagance and waste, so that even when the Donggong family ate, there was only a few things on the table. Just eight dishes.

And this was because after Zhu Zhanqun woke up, he had to eat an extra meal for three people at each meal, and he also needed meat to replenish his body. Crown Princess Zhang only increased the number of dishes from four to eight.

Usually, when only Zhu Gaochi and Zhang are eating, four dishes are considered a rich meal. However, Zhu Zhanji has a place to live outside and doesn't come back often to eat, so it doesn't count against his quota.

However, today the whole family is sitting neatly together, and the food on the table must be richer.

Of course, only counting the roasted suckling pig and roasted whole lamb that Zhu Zhanquan requested, as well as a medicinal meal that nourishes qi and blood, the table itself is already rich enough.

"I mean, second brother, you eat one pig and one sheep every day, and your body doesn't grow much. Where did all the food go?" Zhu Zhanji looked at his younger brother and hugged the whole animal. The suckling pig gnawed its hind legs, showing curiosity.

Although I had always heard that Zhu Zhanchun became able to eat after waking up, I had never seen with my own eyes how he stuffed a whole roasted suckling pig and a whole roasted lamb into his stomach with nearly [-] kilograms of meat. It's impossible to believe that he eats like this three meals a day.

However, after seeing it, it can only make people more confused. There is such a big eater in the world, but why does he still look so thin and weak?

"I practice a martial art called Spiritual Snake Entangling Boxing. The practice consumes the most energy, blood and essence, so I have to eat a lot of meat every day to make up for the body's consumption." Zhu Zhanquan finished one in three mouthfuls. Pork leg, while explaining, he picked up another pig leg and started to chew on it.

Zhu Zhanji also likes to wield swords and sticks. When he heard that Zhu Zhanquan was practicing powerful Kung Fu, his eyes widened and he asked: "Second brother, did you learn this Kung Fu from Penglai Fairy Mountain? This Kung Fu is amazing. Really? After practicing it, will you be able to go to heaven and earth?"

"It's a bit difficult to go to heaven and earth, but if you master it, it will be no problem to have the bravery of ten thousand people like General Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping back then. It's just ordinary to be able to withstand the odds, drag down nine oxen, and tear tigers and leopards alive. It's okay, I asked you to get the fierce tiger to refine the Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment just for practicing this skill." Zhu Zhanquan did not hide his situation, but told his family in detail. , and added at the end: "Brother, if you want to learn, I can teach you. It just so happens that next I will open a furnace to refine the Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment. You can use one portion to lay the foundation."

After hearing what Zhu Zhanqun said, Zhu Zhanji felt as excited as a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he quickly agreed happily.But when he saw half of the roasted suckling pig disappearing into Zhu Zhanqun's mouth, he couldn't help asking hesitantly: "Then do I have to eat with you every day, my second brother?"

"That's not necessary. I have been sleeping for eight years, and my physical body, energy, and blood have been depleted, so I must use this method to make up for the foundation that I have lost in the past eight years. Brother, you have worked hard on your muscles and bones since you were a child, and your foundation is solid. There is no need to make up for it. Foundation." Zhu Zhanquan naturally saw his eldest brother's hesitation about becoming a regular, so he explained with a smile: "And I only want to eat this way now. When the Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment is refined, I will use this medicine to make up for it. After gaining the foundation of qi and blood, you can eat like normal people.

But brother, you still have to pay attention. Practicing the Spiritual Snake Wrapping Fist consumes a lot of energy and blood. I will make a list later. You can eat according to the recipe I gave you every day, so that there will be no problems. "

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang didn't know much about kung fu matters, but they didn't say much about what kind of kung fu the two brothers wanted to practice. That is to say, Zhang said: "I won't stop you from practicing martial arts, but you two brothers should also pay attention. , don’t break your body.”

"Yes, mother." The two brothers looked at each other and agreed quickly.

Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt happy that he could learn powerful Kung Fu, so he directly asked Zhu Zhanquan about the characteristics of this Kung Fu.

Faced with his eldest brother's inquiry, Zhu Zhanyu naturally knew everything and explained everything in detail. He told Zhu Zhanji the entire set of Spiritual Snake Entanglement Fist in detail, and at the end he added: "Spiritual Snake Entanglement Fist" After practicing it, it will be like having a big python with you. The whole person will walk, sit and lie like a big python. The movement and stillness will be like a forest and the abyss. If you practice to the depths until you reach it, you can turn the big python into a dragon, be reborn, and be able to cut through the I Ching. Marrow, when the time comes to mount your horse, you will be able to defeat thousands of troops and prevent thousands of enemies from doing anything wrong."

"Is it really so powerful?" Zhu Zhanji looked like a child who saw something powerful and devoted himself wholeheartedly.

Seeing his eldest brother's appearance, Zhu Zhanchun just smiled, picked up a finished lamb leg bone on the table, pinched the lower half of the bone, and punched out of thin air, "click" The sheep bones broke with a sound.

This move really shocked Zhu Zhanji. It was not like he had never seen military masters performing martial arts on a daily basis. Even though the Ming Dynasty army no longer had the kind of fierce generals who could take the head of a general among all the armies, the same generals in the army were He is by no means an idle person.

But what those warriors can perform is nothing more than their sword fighting skills in the army. How can they be compared with Zhu Zhanqi's "breaking bones with punches".

Zhu Zhanji also knows how hard a bone is. Even if he chops it with a knife or ax, it is impossible to easily break a lamb leg bone like the one in Zhu Zhankun's hand, but he only relies on the power of his punches. Just breaking it is enough to show how powerful this punch is.

This undoubtedly strengthened Zhu Zhanji's determination to practice martial arts with his younger brother.
